Neil Young

As he took the first human steps on the surface of the moon, Neil Armstrong remarked, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Indeed, mankind demonstrated its ability to go beyond expectations and achieve the impossible through the widely speculated event of the 1969 Apollo 11 space mission that landed the first human beings, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, on the moon. In the selection Greatest moment of time, writers of the British national newspaper the Times report the…

nationalism. We Americans were determined to reach the mon before the USSR, and that we did in 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the Moon.

Space travel used to be a fairy tale in the days of Galileo, it was an insane belief that we could walk on the moon. But Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin defied the disbeliefs of the previous…

On July 20, 1969, NASA successfully sent three men, Neil Armstrong, “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins, to the Moon for its Apollo 11 mission, one of the many missions in the Apollo program. About seven years after the landings, in 1976, a man named Bill Kaysing released a book title We Never Went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, in which he claimed that the entire landing was simply a hoax. Since then, many people have read this book (or similar books) or heard about the…

As our government was the first to put a man on the moon and return him to earth many do believe the conspiracy that the moon landing was fake and that the government since has been trying to disprove that conspiracy but there are many reasons to believe that; because it says at first America wanted to be the first to put a man in space but they got beat by the Russians, and since then, since they wanted to the greatest space achievement, their new mission was to put a man on the moon and so,…

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...” Those are the famous words spoken by President John F. Kennedy during his speech at Rice University. Kennedy uttered these words during the height of the Space Race. The Space Race is defined as the time period where the Soviet Union and the United States were fighting to see who could get man up into space first. Both nations also had their…

In the aspect of identifying decision criteria, the members of the Apollo 13 mission had to do the same. Towards the end of the movie, (Grazer, 1995) there was a decision to be made about who would fly the spacecraft back into the atmosphere. Jim Lovell, the commander of Apollo 13, jumped into the pilots seat. He had more experience in space and was the leader of the mission. Jack Swigert, the command module pilot, was the other option. Swigert was supposed to be the pilot of the spacecraft, as…

Introduction: It all started from a dream of John F. Kennedy in 1962. His dream was to put a person on the moon. He called it eponymous moonshot. At that time, Kennedy’s dream seemed impossible, but everything great starts from a great belief. Astro Teller, a captain of The Moonshot factory, and Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, are followers of Kennedy’s dream. In 2007, they opened a subsidiary «Google X» to boost innovations. After October 2015, X operated under Alphabet Inc. X…

well-known quotes around the world. In the late 1960’s the United States along with the help of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in what was a very dangerous mission sent a man to the moon for the very first time. NASA sent three men Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Since that very day, there have been countless debates on if the moon landing actually happened or it was just a hoax put on by the United States to beat the Soviet Union to the moon in the Space…

EDT engines fire and the Apollo 11 is launched into Earth’s orbit. After the Apollo 11 is given the “go”, they head towards the moon and three days later are in lunar orbit. A day after they enter the Moons orbit it’s time for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to start descending to the moon’s surface. At exactly 4:18 p.m. EDT, the lunar module lands. They announce that they have landed and about 6 hours later are ready to step out onto the moon. At exactly 10:56 p.m. EDT Armstrong…
